Yet another wonderful meal at the Grill. Today I had my favorite starter, the coconut curry soup along with a house salad. Such a great atmosphere and respectful/attentive staff. Thank you!

stone crabs were great waitress was great sweet potato on the small side black eyed peas great if you want solid stone crab dinner in a VERY casual setting this is the place

This is the first time we dined at Spice Thai. We had seen a review that said parking was tight. We arrived after 5 for a 5:30 reservation and there was plenty of spaces since the restaurant doesn’t open for dinner until 5pm, but as we waited in the car, cars started piling in. There were about 5 spaces left when our friends arrived. There was a sign stating additional parking in rear but we didn’t check that out. When our party arrived they sat us in a nice booth. The place seems pretty big. Definitely has nice atmosphere. Our server came over and explained all the specials and took our drink order. Then he came back and took our appetizer order. We had the vegetarian spring rolls. Two per order. They were served hot and tasted very good. Then he finally took our dinner order. Everyone ordered something different. I requested my Beef with Mixed Vegetables to be medium spice level but they didn’t add spice. I do have to say that the beef was very good, probably the best I’ve had in a Thai restaurant. Everyone else’s had the correct spice temperature. The portions were large and we all took home our leftovers. I would say that the server was not as attentive in the latter part of the meal maybe because the restaurant was very busy. Overall it was very good.

The food was delicious!! The atmosphere beautiful. We also saw the belly dancing show, it was great. We had a fun night.

Pasta And is a hidden gem, that’s talked about amongst all the locals. We all love coming here to eat - whether it’s alone for a delicious calm meal or with friends or on a date. It’s the perfect place when you are looking to splurge and have something authentic.
